Patriots captain Jerod Mayo will be happy to see another UT Vol... if he sees him

Ian Rapoport Thursday, July 28, 2011

Jerod Mayo has as much pride in his Tennessee history as any Vols product. He's always talking about his former college program, whether trash-talking other ex-SEC players or reminiscing about the glory days.

Today, Mayo learned he will soon be joined by another UT Vols player -- Albert Haynesworth. Was he thrilled? Well, it was tough to tell.

Mayo was at his Patriots finest, dodging one question, ducking through another, and dancing around another. No need for preseason for interviews...

Has he met Haynesworth?

"Yeah, I met him a couple of times," Mayo said, slowly and curiously.

And?

"He's a good guy, but I really don't know," Mayo said, catching on quickly. "He's not here right now. That's another question you're going to have to ask me tomorrow or the day after. I really don't know."

See where this is going?

"Yeah, he's a pretty good player," Mayo said. "Hopefully he can come here and help us out."

Do you feel leadership is strong enough to handle someone who maybe had problems somewhere else?
